BOULDER — Is Colorado better this year? First-year coach Mike MacIntyre believes it. His Buffaloes are 3-6, 0-6 in Pac-12 play and have lost their six league games by an average score of 51-16.

“We’ve won three games,” MacIntyre said at his Tuesday media luncheon. “I think they won one last year. We beat CSU who they didn’t beat last year. We beat a team that’s in the playoffs. We beat a team that was fifth in the nation in I-AA. So I think we’ve shown some stuff there.

“We’ve got to get better in the Pac-12. I’d say if we played in the Pac-12 three years ago it’d be a whole different story. There are some really good football teams.”

He said he sees improvement.

“You all see the three hours on the field,” he said. “You see bits and pieces that are good and other stuff that’s not so good. I understand. But I do see improvement, and most people didn’t predict us to win three games this year. We’ll win some more before the year’s over.

“We didn’t break it. We’re here to fix it. And we’re fixing it. And we’ll keep working to fix it and keep going forward and keep having the right attitude and the right positiveness. It does not get fixed overnight with a magic wand. It does not. We’ve been down here for a while at Colorado and we’ll be back. But in no way shape or form does it happen like that.”
